Lowering the Cost of Your Dog's MedicationLooking for ways to save on your dog's care? Pills for your pooch can now be filled at many pharmacies, sometimes at a significant cost savings over getting the same order from a veterinarian. Retail outlets with pharmacies are using low-cost prescription medications to entice customers to their doors. Places like Target and Wal-Mart can fill prescription drugs for much less, or free in some cases, even if the medication is for your pooch. As long as you have a valid prescription from your dog's veterinarian, the pharmacy may be able to fill it. Savings are substantial, one customer was paying $49 for her dog's medication that she was able to get from a retail chain pharmacy for $6. It's worth checking out. Ask your local pharmacy how much your dog's prescription might be. The answer might be a pleasant surprise.
